Monthly Photo Contest Sponsorship!

I am proud to announce that AEcarbon is now the official sponsor of the monthly LXforums Photo Contest!

The winner each month will receive $50 store credit for use on the AEcarbon website. (group buys exempt)


The competition is fierce and now there is a prize to be had

Off to find some abandoned photoshoot locations!

i for one am not to happy with this...its gonna turn the photo contest into an even bigger campaign:|

[Fargo59]

hahaha. so we end up with a few more photos to pick through. since i dropped my camera recently, i think im screwed for this month, but we'll see.

Im with Motor on this one, but at the same time I have to ask.

Can someone win multiple times?

[Super T]

Awesome! Thanks for the generosity! As far as campaigning, etc. - different conversation, but I don't think (and hope I'm right) this will step that up.

I am hoping that campaigning is not a concern.

[Fondy]

Assuming everything is approved I will not be competing but I might just shoot a photo for fun

Besides, your car is far more evil spirited than mine (and most others for that matter), it would slaughter my silver mag just for the taste of V6 blood.

This is your competition, run with it

Nah...I don't think I'll be a part of this now.

Nah...I don't think I'll be a part of this now.

Well, that makes me sad, and no sarcasm. It really does.

But you're a big boy and you can do whatever you want.

If you're bitter about the campaigning, you're not the only one. But unless you have a suggestion for how to curb it, we're kinda at an impasse. I won't make a rule that I can't enforce (i.e. no campaigning). I have always thought that it was unnecessary and tacky, but I have no way of eliminating it.

It's been discussed elsewhere and my thoughts have been expressed already (though by others who I happen to agree with), and I don't know what else to say about it.

I will bring it up when it comes time for this month's voting thread, and remind folks that campaigning leaves a bad taste in the mouth, so let's not do it. Beyond that, any suggestions for how to deal with it will be appreciated.

The point of this was to reward people for their creativity and step up fair competition. I voiced my opinions on the fairness of campaigning as well and hopefully it wont be a problem anymore. We will see. By no means did I expect that this would exclude people.

I just like taking pictures...and i have for a long while...and i'd wish people would judge the piece itself and not vote based on who it is - which club/region you're affiliated with...in that case a win like that is not worth anything...at least that's the way i look at it.
Where as i'm nowhere close to Ryan or some other pro shooters around here, i enjoy taking the pix and take time to go to different locations, angles, light, etc, get in trouble with the police just to get my best effort in.
No with the AECarbon being involved...i don't care about the gift. Hell, if i ever win one of those they can keep it or give it away to someone else - no use to me anyways.

...and now it's time to roll out to a few locations...
